Increasing the presence of hydrogen during nucleation stabilises smaller ring structures earlier in the nucleation process, in fragments as small as carbon pentagons, which are known to be a key intermediate structure in carbon nanostructure nucleation. Conversely, lower hydrogen chemical potentials lead to the formation of carbon ring structures only in much larger fragments. These results present a new potential route by which hydrogen leads to greater control over CVD-synthesised carbon nanotubes and graphene, i.e. by driving the formation of smaller, more stable ring structures earlier in the growth process.]]> Wed 04 Dec 2019 12:09:12 AEDT ]]> Step-edge self-assembly during graphene nucleation on a nickel surface: QM/MD simulations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21358 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:28 AEDT ]]> Crystalline Ni₃C as both carbon source and catalyst for graphene nucleation: a QM/MD study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26596 Mon 20 Nov 2023 14:18:28 AEDT ]]>
